Basketball players.

The highest-paid position in the National Basketball Association is center, with an average salary of $4.7 million. Point guards, with an average salary of $3.6 million, are the lowest earners.

But they're worth it. Look at all they do to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and heal the sick. And entertain the lazy, providing ersatz fighting and conquest. Truly they add so much to our universal well-being.
